e-Prescribing

EHNAC’s ePAP has positioned EHNAC as a nationally recognized accreditation authority for e-prescribing networks and vendors.* These programs assess electronic prescribing transactions for compliance with industry standards and government regulations, and provide an organization’s existing and prospective customers with confidence that appropriate risk-based security and privacy controls are in place and key performance metrics are being met on an ongoing basis.
